[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would make far more sense would be to get rid of the inbound seats for TP and just run an enriched course for those inbound TP kids that are smart but not smart enough to get into the magnet.

With the federal discrimination investigation, I don't see how MCPS can continue giving white kids in TP preferential access to a magnet. [/quote]

Why can’t you see that just hurts the out of boundary kids???  All the kids in the magnet deserve to be there — all of them.  The problem is there are more deserving kids in MoCo than there is space.  The 25 set asides for TP inbound creates more seats for OOB kids because a TP kid is not taking one of the OOB seats. Without those set asides there would be less seats for ALL kids![/quote]

I think this is obvious, but sadly, I suspect the poster you responded to thinks none of our kids would get into the magnet. Fortunately for her, her plan is not the case because, based on the number of TP area kids that go to Blair magnet, she would be grossly mistaken.

She is also offbase about the racial comment -- kids coming from TP to the magnet are not all white.

I totally agree about more deserving kids than spaces. I don't know why some people want to try to make TP kids some kin dof less-than scapegoat. The stats just don't support that theory. So many bright kids in this area.[/quote]

^^ bright kids in MoCo overall, not just TP[/quote]

I read the reason MCPS put all the STEM magnets from TPES, TPMS and Blair are all in TKPK is because it has the highest concentration of gifted kids. :D[/quote]

It's true![/quote]
